since static user/group names are allocated, it is not really configurable. I would just drop these two options here and in every other service.

I don't really get what you mean. You can set user with services.bitcoind.user or services.dashd.user
Static is only the default value.

Does this really requires a home in "/home"? Usually system user a created in /var/lib/. This directory can be created on service start.

It sets cfg.dataDir as home directory (not /home)
parity/ethash requires a valid home dir: https://github.com/paritytech/parity/blob/8404edb656693270ec1cd3956d204f625d28ec7c/ethash/src/compute.rs#L109

And the reason I chose the data directory and not a path in /var/lib is that I'm used to have the data dir on an encrypted partition and don't want information to be leaked by ethash
